welcoming atmosphere, quality food - Edit
friendly staff; well-seasoned, well-presented scrambled tofu; excellent coffee; comfortable, spacious interior. Would definitely go again, would be a great cafe for bringing a book and getting comfy, or having a long chat with friends. Very impressed and happy I have a local vegan spot.

Delicious! - Edit
I stopped here for lunch and was amazed by the food and customer service. It is located in a good spot with plenty parking. We ordered a chicken burger and the schnitzel with a chai latte and a cold chocolate milkshake. Everything tasted wonderful and I would visit again!

Great vegan cafe with lots of choice! - Edit
Came here to celebrate a family member’s birthday. Welcome from the moment I came in was wonderful. Super helpful and friendly. Great choice of menu items at reasonable price. Very tasty food and good coffee. The vegan goodies to buy to take away are great, for example vegan marshmallows. Yum. Highly recommend.

Plantbased in Fairfield - Edit
While the service is uber friendly, a low staff-to-patron ratio makes for fairly slow service. The meals, while well presented, aren’t especially interesting, and there is nothing on the menu that made me want to return.
Read moreOne of only two cafes that IMHO make decent coffee, hence one star is for their consistently good coffee; another for their earlybird special ($9.50 for choice of muffin with coffee, weekdays 7-9am); the third for being fully plantbased.

Deceptively vegan - Edit
I had to ask, after looking at the menu (with items such as Southern Fried Chicken Burger, Mediterranean Grill Plate) - is this really all vegan?! And, it really is!!
Read moreSo many different types of options such as the hot dog, lasagne, avo hash, toast Shakshuka and fresh toast.
I shared the big breakfast, and it was big enough to share. I really enjoyed all of it, including the scrambled tofu and sausages. Lots of in-house baked products too. We enjoyed doughnuts, yum.
Service was gracious and welcoming. There is a dog friendly courtyard.

High quality vegan breakfast - Edit
Food was amazing! Very well presented, and really nice mix of flavours in the Hash Stack - it was delicious! They really go all out with the dishes, it's obvious that a lot of thought has gone in to matching flavours. Friendly staff and nice clean cafe with good atmosphere.

Delicious food - Edit
Entire menu is vegan and everything I've tried so far has been delicious. Portions are generous and price is reasonable. Inside is extremely noisy, so if you want a more relaxed vibe, head to the courtyard out the back.

Read moreThe lasagne at $18.50, is well made and double the size I was expecting! The accompanying salad was fresh and nicely dressed, and the oat milk mocha was very good too. I was hoping to get one of their doughnuts to takeaway but they are only making them on weekends now. 😔

Awesome fully plant based cafe. - Edit
My family and I had a great experience at Mamma Says. Service and support from the entire team was excellent, they're super friendly and were accommodating for my son's nut allergy. The food quality and coffees were great. We look forward to visiting this stand out cafe on Station St every chance we get. They deserve every success for taking this cafe and transforming it into an only plant based setup. Awesome work Amanda and the Mamma Says team.

Big servings, but fairly bland food - Edit
Went for lunch here.
Read moreFriendly service. At times they were a little spacey. The interior.of the cafe is nice
Had the grilled meat platter. Which comes with greek salad, hummus and chips. Massive portion. The let down was that all of the grilled mock meat, didnt really have any seasoning, flavour,or sauce with it. Just chunks of bland, grilled vegan meat. The other person had the chicken burger. Which was not that exciting. The sauce tasted hoisin based, which I think didn't really work. Chips were good. The entree options are fairly limited and what we did have, was not anything to really remember. Probably won't go back. It's on the pricier side also

A really lovely lunch spot - Edit
Super friendly staff and a really exciting and interesting menu - I look forward to going back to try more!
Read moreThis isn't super fancy high cuisine. But it's filling, well made, tasty, decently priced and a solid go-to for brekkie, brunch, lunch and delicious treats - so 5 stars on that scale!
Stacks of indoor, outdoor and courtyard spaces (although out the front can be pretty pumping if A1 have their music up loud).
Plus the staff were a real joy.
The shakshuka was tasty, filling and delicious, albeit pretty oily.

exciting potential - Edit
I just noticed that Mama Says is now all vegan and I’m thrilled!
Read moreI popped in near the end of last year when they were already very vegan friendly and picked up a GIANT, chewy Italian donut, oat iced coffee (Oatly, from memory) and some Mylk Bar Sweets fizzy watermelon lollies. All delicious.
The staff member who served me was friendly, chatty, and vegan. Looking forward to going back for brunch and updating my review.

Great menu variety - Edit
We came here for lunch and had a hash stack, an iced coffee, a very berry smoothie and French toast. The hash stack looked a little small but it was very filling and I loved the vegan feta used. It was a lovely combination of flavours. The very berry smoothie was refreshing on a warm day. I also enjoyed my iced coffee and my partner enjoyed the French toast.
Read moreWe sat in the courtyard and it was really pleasant. I look forward to trying the rest of the menu!
Pros: Vegan
